No photos but some info re breeder.
Gardeners' chronicle, horticultural trade journal, Part 2 Page 93
1897
Hybrid perpetual Roses, twenty-four distinct varieties,
were best from Mr. Ralph Crossling, and Mr. Stephen Treseder.
Twelve distinct varieties of Teas- Both competitors staged
some excellent blooms, and Mr. Treseder was awarded a
Certificate of Merit for his new Rose, Mrs. Stephen Treseder.

128 THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE.
August 21, 1897.
Mr. Treseder showed us a
white Tea, which he described as a sport from Anna
Olivier. The sport occurred in his nursery a year
or two ago, and, like most sports, in every particular
but colour of flower it appears to resemble the parent
plant. The blooms are very pretty, slightly lemon-
coloured in the centre, and the plants were covered
with them.

Oh wow ! That description sounds just like the Nannup, Western Australia sport "Blanche Roberts" - slightly lemon coloured in the center. Thank you Sandie. As usual you have come up with the good "goods". Helpmefind has been able to change the breeder too, from bred by G. Paul to: Discovered by Stephen Treseder, and introduced by Paul.

I am so excited about this sport but we had better watch it for two years before merging "Blanche Roberts" into 'Mrs. Stephen Treseder'. I wonder would that be the way to go? In Australia it was last heard of in 1948, and now reappeared as a sport on .... that yella thing .....in 2010.
